First Part: Wind and Clouds Surge First Chapter: Xu Jingming

Island, Di Long, the island master of Emperor Dragon Island, the dean, the tower master, the island master, Chi Meng, and Meng Tian were all watching intently, not wanting to miss a single moment. Und...On July 2nd, 2081, at 1:50 PM, in Binhai City, the most prosperous city of Xia Country, dark clouds gathered overhead, thunder roared, and a heavy storm was about to break. 。

A summer thunderstorm, it can come on quickly. 。On the top floor of the Starry Combat Club, a young man was looking out the window at the dark clouds and lightning. "Crackle and pop" raindrops began to hit the glass panes. 。The young man walked to the center of the room, braced his hands on the ground, and slowly and steadily performed an inversion. 。First, both hands were straight up in a handstand, then one hand was retracted, becoming a single-hand handstand with the right hand. 。"Hoo~~~ ahh~~~" The sound of breathing echoed in his ears. Xu Jingming felt the contraction of his core muscles, and the weight of his entire body pressing down on his right arm. 。

The first three minutes were very comfortable for my arms, with the tendons and muscles being stimulated deeply. But by the fourth minute, the palm muscles started to cramp and ache a bit. By the fifth minute it was even more painful, but Xu Jingming had long since gotten used to it. He persisted until five minutes were up, and naturally switched to his left hand for a single-arm handstand. 。"Dad's back, I don't know if it's any better today." 。When doing a one-handed handstand, Xu Jingming's thoughts were also drifting. He thought of his father. 。My father is sixty this year, and his back injury has been a recurring problem. Yesterday, I heard from my mother on the phone that my father's back pain flared up again when he moved something heavy...

"I'll go back home after I finish with this busy period..." 。Xu Jingming was thinking. 。Handstand, is not a training method taught by the national team, but was taught by my father when I was a child. 。Xu Jingming was in poor health as a child. His father taught him martial arts to strengthen his body, including "single-arm inverted pile". 。Because he has practiced it for a long time and seen good results, it has become one of his five major qigong exercises every day. He practices in winter even during the three nines (nine coldest days), and in summer even during the three volts (three hottest days). He has been practicing for twenty years now, and he will continue to practice even when he is sick or injured. He won't stop unless there are special circumstances. 。As the saying goes, "Practice punches but not basic skills, and you'll end up with nothing at all." These so-called basic skills refer to daily fundamental training. 。If there is a break of three to five days, muscles and bones will decline in all aspects. 。After finishing his single-arm handstand practice, Xu Jingming walked to the desk and sat down. He drank a few sips of water and looked out the window at the heavy rain. 。When the humidity is high, my leg starts to ache. 。Xu Jingming looked at his right leg and reached out to gently rub it. "I've never stopped with daily rehabilitation exercises, but my right leg... it's just not getting better." 。If my right leg wasn't injured, I should be in contention for the world No. 1 spot. 。Xu Jingming said silently. 。

Injury is the most feared thing for every martial arts master's career. 。"A broken leg," for Xu Jingming, that was a nightmare. 。"Beep beep beep…" Suddenly, a sound rang out. 。Xu Jingming looked up and said, "Xiaobai, answer the video call." 。A beam of light gathered in front of Xu Jingming, forming a two-meter-high image. In the picture, a burly, fat man was sitting in a car, smiling and shouting, "Lao Xu, we've already left the hotel and should arrive at your Xingkong Fighting Arena in about 20 minutes." 。Haha, we haven't seen each other in over a year, we definitely need to have a good drink tonight! 。"Don't worry, Big Bear, I've already booked a barbecue restaurant. " 。"Xu Jingming saw his childhood friend, smiling and entrusting him, "The rain is pretty heavy, be careful on the road." 。"Relax, relax." 。"The burly fat man continued, "Those boys on the provincial training team all worship you. They want to see your marksmanship for themselves. Later, you have to give them some pointers and let them understand the difference between themselves and the world's top masters." 。"Nowadays, young people are getting better and better each generation. I'm just glad I haven't sunk my ship!" 。Xu Jingming smiled and said: 。"How could you possibly capsize I actually hope you capsize. If you capsize, it means our provincial team has produced another genius!" 。"Well, no more idle chat," the big fellow laughed heartily, "See you later." 。See you later. 。Xu Jingming waved his hand, and the image in mid-air dissipated. 。The Jiangnan Provincial Training Team underwent a ten-day training session, costing 50,000 blue star coins. In reality, this amount was insufficient even to cover the venue rental fees. 。But for a martial arts gym, being able to provide training for the provincial training team is also an advertisement and can attract more martial arts enthusiasts to join the gym. 。

Even retired professional players need to make money. 。Xu Jingming got up and went to take a shower and change his clothes. 。While fighting game professionals sound glamorous, in reality, they only make "appearance fees" during their peak. There are very few players worldwide who earn over 100 million dollars throughout their careers. Most professional fighters just scrape by. 。As for making money after retirement, it's even more difficult. 。Although Xu Jingming is also a world-class martial arts master, at the World Martial Arts Championships, his highest achievement was only reaching the top eight. 。The income distribution in the fighting world is pyramid-shaped, with a very small number at the top! The highest earner's income is ridiculously high, and those ranked second, third, fourth... will see a sharp decline. 。Xu Jingming stood at the entrance of Xingkong Fighting Arena, accompanied by several staff members. In the distance, they saw an electric bus driving through the rain. 。After the electric bus stopped and the door opened, more than ten members of the Jiangnan Province training team got off one after another. 。

“Big Bear” 。At first glance, Xu Jingming saw the burly fat man who got out of the car first. It was his good brother, Liu Chongyuan. 。

"Old Xu" 。Liu Chong walked over excitedly and hugged Xu Jingming. He slapped Xu Jingming hard on the back, thump-thump-thump. Xu Jingming grimaced, but could only pretend it was a massage. 。Liu Chongyuan, standing at two meters and three centimeters tall, weighing over one hundred eighty kilograms, resembles a towering upright bear. 。Back then, he was also a professional martial arts expert. He wielded a shield in one hand and an axe in the other. At his peak, he even reached the 39th position in the World Martial Arts Alliance積分 rankings, so he could firmly hold his position at the Provincial Sports Bureau. 。。"Liu Chongyuan grinned and said, “You guys have been thinking about Coach Xu all the time!”

"Xu Jingming!"

"The Gun God Xu Jingming!"

"Seeing him in person!" The provincial team members were all a bit excited. As professionals, they naturally admired this senior." 。Xu Jingming looked at these team members, as if he saw himself from back then. 。Young and energetic!

Unlike myself, who had to retire from the martial arts competition with injuries. 。Xu Jingming smiled: "Achen, take them to choose weapons." 。"

Yes, Brother Xu" 。Young staff should say 。"Da Xiong, let's go wait for them on the third floor first." 。Xu Jingming and Liu Chongyuan, this pair of good brothers, excitedly went to the third floor first. 。The armory of the Starry Sky Fighting Arena covers an area of five hundred square meters. It houses a staggering number of cold weapons, including swords, spears, axes, clubs, shields, maces, hammers, and flails. These are all equipment used in martial arts competitions. For example, swords and sabers are not sharpened and have a layer of cushioning material on their surface, greatly increasing safety. 。Like lances, these competition rifles have data engraved on their barrels: length, caliber diameter, weight. Hundreds of them stand in a line against the wall. 。"As expected of the Starry Sky Fighting Gym, the top fighting gym in Binhai City. They have a full set of weapons." 。The eleven members of the provincial training team all use long guns, which is why they participated in Xu Jingming's training. 。When it comes to marksmanship alone, Xu Jingming recognizes all professional martial arts masters in history as being within the top ten. 。

The match-long spear data is clear, eleven team members quickly selected their usual weapons. 。"The first time I saw Xu Jingming in real life, he looked very ordinary. He didn't have the same intimidating presence as in the videos." 。A tall man tested the spear, saying at the same time: 。"I feel like I've lost a lot of weight compared to the video." 。Another young boy said 。"She lost weight." 。“A burly man nodded and said, ‘I’ve seen him play several times when he wasn’t retired. According to the Martial Arts Alliance’s public information, he is 1.8 meters tall and weighs 93 kilograms.’ ” 。Now I've lost a lot of weight, probably around 187 pounds. 。These provincial team members were discussing. 。They all knew that at 1.78 meters tall and over 80 kilograms, it might be considered a bit overweight for the average person. 。But for professional martial artists, with strong bones and a high muscle-to-fat ratio, they are slightly thin. 。"Weight loss, strength definitely decreased." 。"

How much strength is left unknown" 。Some professional players, after retiring, give up training and their bodies become deformed, their strength is much worse. 。These players were discussing. 。I also want to see how much of a gap there is between me and the World Martial Arts Tournament contestants. I wonder how many strengths he still has, considering his weight is significantly lighter than mine. 。The burly man wasn't quite willing to accept it. He had been selected for the national training squad once last year, his goal was the highest level of combat sports – the World Martial Arts Championship. He originally held expectations for Xu Jingming, who had twice made it to the World Martial Arts Championship, but now he felt a little disappointed. 。Having lost weight, how much strength does Xu Jingming still possess Does he still have the domineering power of the 'Gun Demon' from back then

"Even if his strength has declined, his experience remains >>> 。"A tall man beside me smiled and said, "We're capable of giving you some pointers."" 。"

Maybe we won't even have the chance to fight in a real battle" 。"A young boy mumbled, they had seen too many old coaches teaching and pointing out, but few were willing to practice with them on the court." 。On the third floor of the Starry Sky Fighting Arena, there is a martial arts ring that meets international martial arts competition standards. The ring is 20 meters long and 20 meters wide, with a six-meter-high iron wire mesh surrounding it. 。As the provincial training team members stepped into the third floor, they saw Coach Liu and Xu Jingming standing there. 。Line up. 。"Xu Jingming said very familiarly that he was also a member of the Jiangsu Provincial team back then, and later was selected as the main player of the national team," 。The eleven members, each holding a long spear, stood in a straight line, orderly and well-behaved. 。Though Xu Jingming's skills might have diminished after retirement, his past achievements still earned him the respect and obedience of these players. 。From today onwards, I am your coach. The training camp lasts for ten days. Except for today's training time in the afternoon, starting tomorrow, it will be from nine to eleven in the morning. 。“Xu Jingming swept his gaze over them, “I don’t want anyone to be late or absent.” 。"

" is Let me know if you have anything else you'd like me to translate!。Eleven team members all responded in unison. 。Okay, nice to meet you. Let's get down to business and see what you've got. 。"Xu Jingming said, 'I also like to teach students according to their aptitudes.'" 。"Want to try next" These team members looked at each other, surprised and delighted. 。"Sparring match"

"Does Xu Jingming dare to fight" The team members couldn't hide their excitement. Since Xu Jingming dared to do this, it meant that even after retiring, he still maintained most of his peak-era strength. 。Tomato's new book is officially released! It has been prepared for a long time, and I am full of confidence!
